Serbian for Kids - Locative Case
There are two parts in this video. In the first part you are just listening to me searching for and finding numbers. In the second part, I added the answer key to the left and right, so you can see why some words get an "i" at the end, and the others get an "u" at the end.
So, whenever you want to say that you are somewhere, we use the Locative case which will change the ending of the word which describes your the location. The same is with the numbers in this video.
Locative Case Fun Way
Words ending in -a (most of Feminine, Singular)
GDE su brojevi stranica?
OGRADA - 4 je na ogradi
ČARAPA - 6 je na čarapi
TRAVA - 8 je na travi
PATIKA - 10 je na patici
MAJICA - 14 je na majici
KOŠULJA - 14 je na košulji
ŠKOLA - 16 je na školi
KLACKALICA - 18 je na klackalici
PALMA - 20 je na palmi
KOSA - 22 je na kosi
TRAMPOLINA - 24 je na trampolini
ČARAPA - 6 je na čarapi
TRAVA - 8 je na travi
PATIKA - 10 je na patici
MAJICA - 14 je na majici
KOŠULJA - 14 je na košulji
ŠKOLA - 16 je na školi
KLACKALICA - 18 je na klackalici
PALMA - 20 je na palmi
KOSA - 22 je na kosi
TRAMPOLINA - 24 je na trampolini
Words ending in a consonant (Masc. Sg.) or -E/O (Neut. Sg.)
BALON - 5 je na balonu
OBLAK - 7 je na oblaku
CVET - 9 je na cvetu
DRVO - 11 je na drvetu
ŠORC - 13 je na šorcu
TOBOGAN - 15 je na toboganu
CIRKUS - 21 je na cirkusu
KROV - 21 je na krovu
OBRAZ - 23 je na obrazu
LICE - 23 je na licu
U potrazi za ostalim brojevima = Searching for other numbers
Now it's time for you to search the other part of the book and write in the comments where all the other numbers are... I'm curious! Jedva čekam vaše odgovore :)

Ordinal numbers in Serbian behave as adjectives, so they change according to the noun's:
- number (singular or plural - prva kolona vs. prve kolone)
- gender (masc. fem or neuter - prvi red vs. prvA kolona vs. prvO mesto)
- case (after the basic form of Nominative, there will be all six cases - prvi čovek - prvog čoveka - prvom čoveku - prvog čoveka / prvi hamburger - prvi čoveče - sa prvim čovekom - o prvom čoveku)
That's why we are starting just with a very simple list of 12 ordinal numbers in masc. sg. Nominative to learn the form, hear it, pronounce it and practice it.
In our next lessons we'll be practicing more complex structures with the ordinal numbers in Serbian :)
I know it looks complicated, but it can be fun, and it is certainly good for your brain!
The list of exercises both in the Latin and Cyrillic script can be found on my Patreon page.

Numbers and Addition in Serbian
Let's watch the video where you can see and hear numbers being added in Serbian. If you click CC you will be able to follow the English translation as well. If you decrease the speed, from normal to 0.75, you can practice your pronunciation :) Have fun!
For more advanced learners, there are a few, actually 3, questions:
1. Can you recognize the accent? Which one is it - Serbian or Bosnian or Montenegrin?
2. Could you hear the name of the famous scientist who is mentioned in the video?
3. Why are numbers 3, 6, and 9 magical?

More about how to write and say numbers in Serbian can be found on this link. Now, you can enjoy watching this fun video and jotting down the numbers you hear:

Youtube is a great source of unique and authentic materials for learning Serbian, which I have been sharing with you under "listening comprehension" tag.

Watch the first part of "Poletarac" and you'll see why it can come in handy when learning Serbian:
1. Part one about swimming (plivanje) and knowing (znanje) from the beginning to minute 3:00

While watching the video try to figure our which sentences I changed and which synonims I used. You can also try to solve which numbers 1- 5 are missing. After the careful comparison, try to do the additional exercises:
- with numbers and adjectives (in the Latin alphabet)
- with nouns (the Cyrillic script - still under construction)
Godine .1. slovenska plemena su našla novu domovinu na teritoriji nekadašnjeg vizantijskog Ilirika.
Od reka Save i Dunava pa sve do Peloponeza, Sloveni su pronašli domovinu. Te teritorije na kojima žive Sloveni, vizantijski pisci zovu Sklavinijama. To su plemenski organizovane oblasti u kojima je središnja vlast poglavara ograničena.
Nekadašnja metropola Ilirika ostaće kod Slovena poznata kao Caričin Grad. Imena stotine vizantijskih gradova biće zauvek izgubljena - a sećanja na njih zameniće opšti slovenski pojam za napušten grad "gradina" ili "gradište".
Učeni vizantijski pesnik, Georgije Pisida u Carigradu , piše stihove o teškim vremenima koji su zadesila njegovu zemlju. U jednom stihu kaže da se i Varvari međusobno bore: Avar ubija Slovena i potom biva ubijen - i time su ometeni u vođenju jedinstvene borbe. Na osnovu ovog usamljenog podatka, pretpostavlja se da je .2. godine, nakon neuspele avarsko-slovenske opsade Carigrada, došlo do značajnih sukoba Avara i Slovena.

A few days ago while I was preparing for my online lessons I came across this great video which can help you practice:
You can write or record a short report by answering to the following questions:
Limanska pijaca:
- vocabulary (fruit and vegetables)
- numbers and prices
- comparing prices of certain products at two different markets in Novi Sad (Limanska pijaca vs. Kvantaš)
You can write or record a short report by answering to the following questions:
Limanska pijaca:
- Koje povrće je najjeftinije?
- Koliko košta krompir na limanskoj pijaci?

- Koje voće je najjeftinije?
- Koliko koštaju kurške?
- Koje voće je nešto jeftinije od kruški?

- Koje voće ima istu cenu kao i na limanskoj pijaci?

Serbian A2 to B2 Video Lesson
Here comes a video lesson which will help you practice Serbian at different levels.
As you can see, there are three phrases.
Serbian A2 Video Lesson - Accusative
The verbs such as TRAŽI - to search VIDETI - to see or VOLETI - to love (jesti, piti, slušati, gledati, kupiti, naći, etc.) trigger the Accusative case endings in the words that follow it (these can be not only nouns, but also numbers and adjectives in front of the noun)
What does ti mean?
It will change the upcoming word(s) in such a way that
- anything that is in singular, ending in -a, will drop the -a and change to -u. For example: čokoladA ... Tražim čokoladU = I am lookin for chocolate :o)
Serbian B1 Video Lesson - Genitive
The following prepositions:
trigger the Genitive case in the words that follow them:
Example: Jaje je pored slaninE. (the nominative case is: slaninA)
Singular:
-anything else >>> -A
- pored - next to
- između - between
- ispred - in front of
- iza - behind
- ispod - under
- iznad - above
trigger the Genitive case in the words that follow them:
Example: Jaje je pored slaninE. (the nominative case is: slaninA)
Singular:
-A>>> -E
slanina - slanine
torta - torte
kruška - kruške
lubenica - lubenice
-anything else >>> -A
mleko - mleka
jaje - jajeTa
đus - đusa
sok - soka
tiganj - tiganja
hleb - hleba
sir - sira
Serbian B1/B2 Video Lesson - If Clauses
(or If I could..., I would... or If I had, I would...)
DA+ PRESENT, JA BIH + GLAGOL+o/la
Da mogu da jedem lubenicu, ja bih je (po)jela.
KAD BIH + GLAGOL+o/la, JA BIH + GLAGOL+o/la
Kad bih mogla da jedem lubenicu, ja bih je pojela. Prevod: If I could eat a watermelon now, I would eat it.
